Contemporary Developments in Hydraulic Fracturing focuses on some of the key aspects of hydraulic fracturing operations, which are fundamental to the extraction of geothermal energy as well as the production of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs. With regard to geothermal energy production, this book presents an economic-based modeling of geothermal systems augmented by hydraulic fracturing, which invariably results in the creation of optimal designs of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) that boost economic performance. Some innovations in core operations of hydraulic fracturing are also...

This book investigates the key geomechanical processes associated with fluid flow in the underground environment. The major phenomena assessed include deformation, fracturing and erosion of the subsurface in response to high fluid pressure perturbations, fluid flow, and interactions with pre-existing naturally occurring and artificial subsurface structures. The inter-relationships and effects of well operation variables on rock formation behaviour are examined. Some controls have been established which inform the understanding of reservoir/rock formations and are pivotal to reservoir...

Emerging Technologies in Hydraulic Fracturing and Gas Flow Modelling features the latest strategies for exploiting depleted and unconventional petroleum rock formations as well as simulating associated gas flow mechanisms. The book covers a broad range of multivarious stimulation methods currently applied in practice. It introduces new stimulation techniques including a comprehensive description of interactions between formation/hydraulic fracturing fluids and the host rock material. It provides further insight into practices aimed at advancing the operation of hydrocarbon reservoirs and can...
